I’m totally clueless… What should I do?

So I’m currently in my second year studying Computer Science to be a Game Developer but, lately, I’ve been thinking that maybe I don’t want to do that anymore. I’m a good writer and people who’ve read my work have told me so. I’ve been more into writing than anything else I can think off…

I’ve been telling my friends and family that I’m thinking of stopping my current course and just write my material and be an author. ALL of them have been telling me to do otherwise and continue studying Computer Science and have been giving me valid reasons to stay. But I’m losing or lost the appeal to continue it…

I just want to write now and I think that’s all I want to do. But I don’t think I can at all when it’s obvious that the ones who matter to me wont even support me and I’ve been having writers’ block stressing over this.

I don’t know what to do. Please help…

Follow your heart, you can change majors at any time. If you are really passionate then you'll do great, why waste your time on a career that you may always doubt?

I think you should continue with your studies at the moment, and maybe write in your spare time? When you get your degree, it means you'll have something to fall back on if the writing doesn't work out. Good luck! :)

I took writing in college. It was worthless and nothing that taking a few electives in writing couldn't explain. If you like writing enough, try your hand and doing your own short stories over a period of time. If you're aiming to become a novelist, college won't help you do that. It's only a degree to impress people later on for jobs which selling a book is equivalent to. I'd suggest keep on the CS classes but start doing writing as a hobby. If you like it enough, you could go back later for a second major.
